important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
, Knowwhieh knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
, Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
* Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under aventilating hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
, Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--Stand to the side ofthe range when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
* Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
* Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
* Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
* Do not cover the broiler insertwith aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
* Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
* Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
* Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
* Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
,The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
, Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each
surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
, Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
, Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
, Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
, Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual, improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

To Operate the Surface Elements:
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
Push in and turn the surface control knob either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to
a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set
exactly on a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed.
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element OFF before removing
the pan. Note: The surface "ELEMENT ON" indicator light(s) will glow
when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these
indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all
surface elements are turned off. See chart below for recommended control
settings for different types of foods.
The suggested settings found in the table below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may
vary when using other types of pans.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS FOR SURFACE ELEMENTS
Setting Typeof Cooking
HIGH (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
LOW (LO - 1) Keep warm, melt, simmer
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS FOR SIMMER SELECT SURFACE ELEMENT
Max. Simmer (4) Larger quantities of food, stews and soups
Min. Simmer (LO) Smaller quanitites of food, delicate foods, melting chocolate or butter
Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)
The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer
element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats the element at a much lower
temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between
normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking
process. When using the element control for normal cooking all of the settings on the
control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.
To Start Simmer Select:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.
2. Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob. The Simmer
Select indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 1).
3. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band
on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob from LO to 4 as needed (See Recommended Settings for Simmer Select
Surface Element on previous page).
4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and
the indicator light will turn OFF. When cooking is complete, be sure to set the
control knob to the OFF position.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon

Surface Cooking
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating
element (See Fig. 1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2).
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is
transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most
popular materials available are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
& pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop,
they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches.
Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not
recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL- Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must
be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
CORRECT
Flat bottom and straight
sides.
Tight fitting lids.
Weight of handle does not
tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced,
Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size of
the surface element.
Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
Easy to clean.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings inor around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Remove oven racks. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean cycle
their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack position).
Remove any excessive spilovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spllovers can cause heavy smoke orfire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.
Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity. On
these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand
from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven
bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur
if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.
18
Self-Cleaning (cont'd)
Starting the Select Self=Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self=Clean Cycle
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventitlation fan or exhaust hood
during the 1st Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st Self-Clean cycle.
To Set the Controls for a Self=Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self=Clean Cycle:

"CLn" will appear in the display during the Self-Clean cycle and the "LOCK" light will glow until the Self-Cleaning cycle
is complete or cancelled and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self=Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day or "End" will appear inthe display window and the "Clean" and "LOCK" light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. If"End" is in the display and the Select Clean indicator light remains ON, press _. The time of day will appear in the
display.
NOTE: When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Stopping or interrupting a Select Self=Cleaning Cycle
if itbecomes necessary to stop or interrupt a Self-Cleaning cycle:
1. Press _o
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid
possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
